3-0, 16-year-old rising star Lin Shidong won the opponent in only 20 minutes to win the opening for the national table tennis. This is a very big incentive for both the national table tennis and for him to play in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.
The singapore grand slam tournament officially began, with Chinese teenager Lin Shidong challenging Senegal's Dior in the first match. At present, Dior ranks 54th in the world, while Lin Shidong is holding a wild card to participate directly in the main competition. It is worth mentioning that in last week's Omani tournament, Lin Shidong performed quite well, winning the men's doubles championship with teammate Xiang Peng. It is Amansa's full warm-up that makes Lin Shi currently in a better state.
In the first set, Lin Shidong entered the state extremely quickly, without bloodshed, and easily won 11-5. In the second set, affected by the loss of the first set, Dior made two consecutive serve mistakes in the opening game and gave up two consecutive points. However, then, Lin Shidong also made some small mistakes, and the two sides made mistakes continuously, resulting in a point difference that has not been opened. After Lin Shidong led 8-7, the other side called a timeout, but the timeout came back, and Dior made two consecutive mistakes and handed over the second set. 11-9, big score 2-0, Lin Shidong led.
In the 3rd inning, perhaps due to the more mistakes in the 2nd set and not enough excitement, Lin Shidong took the initiative to mention the state after coming up, shaking his fist and roaring angrily for each point to make himself more excited. Therefore, throughout the 3rd inning, Lin Shidong started faster, and the connection speed was correspondingly accelerated, and he showed obvious advantages in the process of holding and pulling with the other party. 11-6, Lin Shidong won again, and the big score was 3-0 to advance. In the first time after the game, Lin Shidong and his off-field coach high-fived and celebrated.
Easily advancing to the next round, Lin Shidong finally lived up to the coach's hopes for him. At the age of 16, he can participate in the Grand Slam main tournament and enter the next round, and the future potential is unlimited.
